menawati
07.09.13 | people are bound to argue with you but those four are very good picks |
menawati
07.09.13 | but some of the more experimental 60's psych was an influence on prog so i can see why he put some psych in |
JaySpiral
07.09.13 | I love that Procol Harum album so much I have no idea why I haven't listened to some more of them. |
Cygnatti
07.09.13 | Sweet list. I love 60s and 70s prog so I'm interested in people debating about this. |
menawati
07.09.13 | 3 is great, they got such a shit image from their later albums but the early ones are really good |
Cygnatti
07.09.13 | What shit image though. I never knew about the moody blues until Sputnik so I probably wouldn't know. |
IbenizGEO1
07.09.13 | No pink floyd. Otherwise would be perfect
thnx for the rec btw cyg. |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | but DoFP is considered a classic even for mainstream publications like Rolling Stone magazine and it was a commercial success, you really didn't knew about them before? |
Cygnatti
07.09.13 | Yeah np. Pink Floyd is probably my least favorite of the classic prog giants tbh. They were also my first, but I just dont dig them that much anymore. |
menawati
07.09.13 | in the UK they became a joke band over the years |
IbenizGEO1
07.09.13 | who pink floyd? |
Cygnatti
07.09.13 | Damn that sucks. Days of future passes is so fucking good though. |
menawati
07.09.13 | no, moody blues |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | actually, I don't think that the firsts albums by Pink Floyd can be considered as classics nor influential albums |
menawati
07.09.13 | one of the early PFM albums would fit on the list nicely |
IbenizGEO1
07.09.13 | I thought they had a pretty large underground following though in the UK at the time, I could be wrong. I would agree not influential in the grand scheme of things though. |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | the first two albums by PFM are masterpieces, yeah |
menawati
07.09.13 | and yeh Zappa should be in there and also Capt Beefheart |
Cygnatti
07.09.13 | PFM? |
JaySpiral
07.09.13 | Hot Rats could definitely go on here. |
Cygnatti
07.09.13 | Yeah, I never did listen to that captain beef heart album. Probably should. |
menawati
07.09.13 | hmm, maybe the soft machine first album too altho KC debut was far more influential |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | I think Zappa was more influential to jazz fusion than to prog-rock |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | PFM: Premiata Forneria Marconi |
JaySpiral
07.09.13 | @MrSirLord
Jazz fusion was a huge part of the formation of Prog rock |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | of course I know how important Jazz fusion is, but even when they're very similar, I think it's a different genre |
menawati
07.09.13 | it depends how far you want to go back really, i mean you could say a lot of the 20th century classical was a big influence too but then it can get silly and you go all the way back to a caveman playing drums with a bone as the influence on everything |
MeatSalad
07.09.13 | pretty much yeah |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | menawati knows |
IbenizGEO1
07.09.13 | The web of music |
menawati
07.09.13 | he said 'created' the prog rock genre and in that sense his picks were decent |
IbenizGEO1
07.09.13 | Yes I love you |
IbenizGEO1
07.09.13 | What about jethro tull would they have a place on this list. I'd consider them progish with some folk stuff going on |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | Stand Up could actually be in the list, yeah |
menawati
07.09.13 | JT would fit for sure, they probably were the first main prog folk band, Strawbs could fit too for prog folk but i think they were far less successful and less proggy |
JaySpiral
07.09.13 | Aphrodite's Child, 666 motherfuckers. |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | @JaySpiral I love you |
IbenizGEO1
07.09.13 | I really sick of trojan commercials interrupting my spotify music listening experience |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | I think it's impossible to know all the material in this awesome sub-genre, and I think it's awesome when there are more things to discover |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | people, why you use spotify?, I'm the only one, who actually uses iTunes? |
menawati
07.09.13 | spotify blue screens my pc for some reason, i just use foobar anyway |
IbenizGEO1
07.09.13 | Dude i cant afford all the music i listen too. I just buy the stuff i fall in love with. Better than stealing the music. |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | I download the albums from piratebay, put them in itunes, and then it goes to my 160gb iPod, all for free |
MrSirLordGentleman
07.09.13 | so, yeah, I think I'm not against music piracy :p |
IbenizGEO1
07.09.13 | ^ Asses |
CK
07.09.13 | Idk it needs more Frost* |
JaySpiral
07.09.13 | Youtube to MP3, borrow cd's, library, torrents. Many ways to almost never pay for music. I still pay for music plenty of the time though, that way you're guaranteed quality. |
MeatSalad
07.09.13 | what this list needs is some good ole periphery and btbam |
IbenizGEO1
07.09.13 | I was just kidding. yea i know pretty much all screamo bands are impossible to get unless you drop like $60 for an album or you can't get it at all unless you download it for free somewhere. |
Friday13th
07.09.13 | yeah good stuff. I think Procol Harum's second album is proggier with "In Held Twas In I" but yeah definitely no prog without these guys. |
conesmoke
07.09.13 | Why come no camel? |
MeatSalad
07.09.13 | because camel didn't innovate anything |
conesmoke
07.09.13 | Have you not seen the camel-train on their s/t lp? Pure innovation. |
MeatSalad
07.09.13 | yeah you have a point there |
JamieTwort
07.09.13 | Good to see Procol Harum on here. Both their s/t and Shine on Brightly were very influential early prog albums. |
DamnVanne
07.09.13 | what do you mean by "prog" |
IbenizGEO1
07.09.13 | what do you mean by "rock" |
conesmoke
07.12.13 | What does anyone mean by prawn? |
SitarHero
07.12.13 | "caveman playing drums with a bone"
That guy is so underrated! |
